I bet you're glad your science teacher wasn't quite as condescending as you are.
I'm asking so I can try to understand. And it's "people in the know" like you that don't like being challenged on points that I find annoying .... isn't that how we all learn?
Oh and did you skip your English lessons to go do science and geog?
- to/too/two
- who/who's/whose
oh and you're confused what the thread is about? add comprehension to the list too!

tut!
I think that explains the disparity between your posts and your reputation. Nothing fails to get respect like being thin-skinned on the internet...unless you can make it funny.
not bothered by the post/reputation disparity, but otherwise, a good point well made.
I ask more questions than I answer, I'm not out to harvest a particular site's "reputation" points!
I find it amazing that there are allegedly more people alive on Earth today, than all the rest of the people that ever existed added together.
I ask the question in the OP and many of you offer great answers. Some I don't believe, some I find brilliant.
Others criticise me for asking... maybe because I ask more than once... if your were a college lecturer, wouldn't you want your students to say they didn't understand? or would you want them just to nod, and not understand? and maybe the fact I ask the question again means you didn't do very well in your answer?!
This is a great forum, and if you're gonna get haughty, then so am I. Thanks to the mod for reacting in kind, and not wielding the power, appreciated.
So anyone care to take on where population will go in the next 200 years?
PS if you're about to post a reply and your response is going to be negative, improper, average, odd, obtuse, irrational, an argument, might change the focus, going off at a tangent or just mean ... go and find a maths forum to post on instead, they'll love you !!
